The prize, unveiled in late October, targets works created with artificial intelligence, mandating that each submission include the initial prompt, the specific language model, and a description of the generation process.
Organisers say the requirement aims to ensure transparency about the role of AI in the creative process and to allow judges to assess both literary merit and technical execution.
Eligibility criteria, entry deadlines and prize amounts were not disclosed in the brief announcement.
Jane Friedman’s newsletter, which reported the development, offers subscribers full coverage of the prize, including analysis of its impact on publishing and access to related premium articles.
